Our Classes
At Perfect Pointes School of Dance, we offer high-quality training in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz, following the accredited Professional Teachers of Dancing (PTD) syllabus. This respected framework supports progression from beginner to advanced levels, with students gaining valuable UCAS points from Grade One upwards—a great bonus for those planning to apply to university in the future.
All of our classes are one hour long, giving students plenty of time to warm up safely, develop their technique, and enjoy both exam preparation and performance work at their own pace.
Whether you’re dancing for fun, growth, or future goals, our classes provide a welcoming and structured space to shine.
Mr. Paws – The Perfect First Steps into Dance!
Our Mr. Paws classes are specially designed for children aged 2 to 6 years, offering a fun, nurturing, and imaginative introduction to the world of dance.
We begin with Mr. Paws 1st Steps, a gentle and playful class for children as young as 2 years old. Here, little dancers explore the basics of Ballet and Tap through music, storytelling, and interactive games—building confidence and coordination from day one.
As they grow, children move into the Mr. Paws Combined Ballet & Tap class, where they’re introduced to the pre-primary dance syllabus. This class lays the foundation for future training by developing key skills such as posture, balance, rhythm, and musicality—all while keeping the focus on fun!
But the most important things our Mr. Paws dancers learn aren’t just steps—they learn to believe in themselves, work as part of a team, and most importantly, to find joy in movement.
Whether your child is twirling for the first time or already dancing around the living room, Mr. Paws is the perfect place to start their journey.
Ballet
The Foundation of Every Dancer
Ballet is at the heart of everything we do. As the foundation of all dance styles, it plays a vital role in developing strong, expressive, and technically skilled dancers. That’s why we encourage all our students to take at least one Ballet class each week, no matter their age or experience.
Our Ballet journey begins with the Mr. Paws syllabus, a playful and nurturing introduction for our youngest dancers. From there, students progress through graded levels following the Professional Teachers of Dancing (PTD) syllabus, right through to Advanced Level.
As dancers move up through the grades, they build not just strength, flexibility, and body alignment, but also their musicality, artistry, and individual style—essential qualities for becoming a confident, well-rounded performer.
From Intermediate Foundation onward, classes include more advanced elements such as Pointe work, leaps, and refined technique training, laying the groundwork for those pursuing dance more seriously.
Whether your child dreams of becoming a professional dancer or simply wants to enjoy the beauty and discipline of Ballet, we offer a supportive, structured pathway for every student.
Tap
Rhythm, Style, and Pure Joy!
Tap is a high-energy, feel-good style that’s as much about rhythm and musicality as it is about expression and fun. It’s a fantastic way for dancers to build coordination, timing, and confidence—all while making some noise!
At Perfect Pointes, our Tap journey begins in the Mr. Paws Combined Ballet & Tap class, where our youngest dancers explore Pre-Primary techniques in a playful and supportive setting. From there, students progress through the Professional Teachers of Dancing (PTD) syllabus, working their way up to Advanced Level.
As they move through the grades, dancers develop their own unique style while mastering intricate footwork, syncopated rhythms, and performance skills that truly make Tap come alive.
Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to refine your skills, Tap at Perfect Pointes is all about rhythm, confidence, and joy in every step.
Jazz
Energy, Expression, and Versatility
Jazz is one of the most dynamic and versatile dance styles out there—and at Perfect Pointes, it’s where creativity meets technique.
Our Jazz classes introduce students to a wide range of styles within the Jazz umbrella, helping them become adaptable, expressive dancers. From lyrical and contemporary to hip hop, disco, and even a little Charleston, each class brings something fresh and exciting.
As students progress, they improve their flexibility, strength, and body isolation, while learning how to perform with confidence, energy, and style.
Whether your child wants to tell a story through lyrical movement or bring the beat in a hip hop combo, our Jazz program is designed to inspire and challenge dancers of all levels.
